There are many ways to interpret this question:

  + licensing  - no problem.  The RTEMS license permits this.
  + support - no problem.  That's what OAR provides.
  + training - ditto
  + customization - ditto plus others can help.
  + technical - depends on what you are using but generally no.
    There are some non-kernel add-ons that are technically under
    development but RTEMS provides stable and compatable 
    POSIX and pSOS+-like APIs plus a port of the FreeBSD TCP/IP
    stack.  Porting code is generally no problem.

Ask more specific questions if you want to know about performance
of feature X on CPU Y. :)
